If the time ever comes that the Democratic
party make the same appeal to honest,
law-abiding Republicans that the latter did
to Democrats in the recent campaign, we
trust it will not be UNDECIDED We say if the
time ever comes, but we hope it may not.
1t would come if the Republican party should
fall under the control Of a corrupt and un-
scrupulous ring representing and leading the
worst elements of society, and who should
nominate law-defying ticket on law
defying platform. which the Democrats
should oppose with clean candidate on a
p latform demanding the enforcement of law
and the publication of politics In that case
it would be the duty of honest Republicans
to vote the Democratic ticket, just as honest
Democrats voted the Republican ticket ON
